Ubisoft launches Watch Dogs Live app

Inspired by Ubisoft’s highly anticipated open-world action game, Watch Dogs Live is an immersive multiplayer mobile game that wants to turn you into Canada’s ultimate hacker. The game will have you joining secret hacking group Dedsec to prevent a greedy media magnate from using hacking for personal gain. You will use geo-location and allow the app to put you into a map of your city where you will compete to gain control of vulnerable sites. This four-part special mission is going to give you a chance to experience real-life Watch Dogs situation and win great prizes before the game officially drops later this year.

The app is free for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play. If you’re interested in joining in on the fun but don’t have an iOS or Android device, you can visit the Watch Dogs Live site and sign up.

Apple adds to iOS 7 a Google Now-esque feature called ‘Today’

Apple has taken a lot of inspiration from other mobile operating systems so it comes as no surprise they have an answer to Google Now. Appearing under a tab called Today in the Notifications Center, this feature acts like a personal assistant as well. It can show you weather and traffic information and remind you of your schedule.

This feature is still in beta and obviously won’t match up with Google Now but it is a preview of what’s to come for iOS 7 users. If you’re an Apple user that wants to try the more established Google Now, it is part of the Google Search app.

You click on a hashtag, you get access to posts and comments about the topic.

Here’s what Facebook had to say about this feature: To bring these conversations more to the forefront, we will be rolling out a series of features that surface some of the interesting discussions people are having about public events, people, and topics. As a first step, we are beginning to roll out hashtags on Facebook.
